I'm probably the only one. I do not think WFH is the future.
It takes a minute to turn around, tap PM on shoulder and ask "what about this or that?" And get an answer.
Instead if ping in company channel. Provide all possible points of relating data. Link to all related content. And then ask my question. And hope I get an answer within an hour.
In almost any possible professional situation it's faster and more efficient to be in office.
The conversation we should all be having is what compensation we will demand for the return to the office. Paided travel. Paid child care. All those things that WFH revealed to be the scam our employers pulled on us.
We've worked in some totally different offices. Half the time I couldn't find the people I needed to talk to. That being said, yes, anyone being forced to go back to the office should be able to demand better terms.
